Ingredients:

• 1 can (14.5 ounces) of green beans

• 2 slices of bacon, chopped

• 1/4 cup diced onion

• 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth

• Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. In a skillet or medium-sized saucepan, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until it becomes crispy and browned. Remove the bacon from the pan, leaving the drippings.

2. In the same skillet or saucepan with the bacon drippings, add the diced onion. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and slightly softened.

3. Drain the canned green beans and add them to the skillet along with the sautéed onions. Stir to combine.

4. Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth to the skillet, ensuring it covers the green beans.

5. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Be mindful of the saltiness of the bacon, so adjust the salt accordingly.

6. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the green beans cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until they are tender and heated through. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

7. Cook the mac and cheese mixture on low heat for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld together.

8. Once the green beans are cooked to your desired tenderness, remove the skillet from the heat.

   Serve the southern-style canned green beans as a delicious side dish alongside your favorite main course. Enjoy the flavorful combination of tender green beans, savory bacon, and onions.
